The man said:
– I bought this house; I sold it. In between, 21 years passed. Different things happened in the meantime. The director fell, rose again, killed himself. The atomic bomb exploded, another more terrible bomb was invented. Peace came, or an anguish by that name. Antibiotics, jet planes, electronic computers appeared. Man went around the universe and saw that the earth was blue. Cars were manufactured in Brazil. Bikinis at the age of three and four pass by on the street, and the new generation uses a new face and a new language. But the house hasn't changed.
Carlos Drummond de Andrade. "Rocking chair". Rio de Janeiro: José Olympio, 1972, p.39-40. (Fragment).
